Abstract

We explore jet-medium interactions via the recently developed multi-hadron correlation or "2+1" technique. We restrict the di-jet kinematics by selecting a pair of approximately back-to-back high pT hadron triggers and study associated particles. Here we present our study of di-jet systematics comparing the measurements of associate yields and spectra in 200 GeV Au+Au and d+Au collisions in two different scenarios. We present Sum(pT) as an estimate for energy loss. First findings indicate little to no energy loss in the symmetric "2+1" scenario whereas model predictions are about 2 GeV.
